Anyone use Ultrasone for production? Have heard they are the best Headphones. I am trying to find a shop that I can go into and try out the DJ/hifi range.

I also love a bit of ultrasone... and yeah, two oh one's fault. i got mine for about 150 quid, expensive, but i've seen worse.

I've heard them described as the only headphones you can mixdown on, and they sound amazing.

I've actually gone off mine and given them to my cousin. Because I hate him. I got myself a pair of Sanyo personal stereo headphones from the '80s instead. The foam has disintegrated, but they sound really nice if you learn to listen through the hiss.

Of course you can mix with them. That's why they were designed. I know some pros who mix on them (despite having one of those studios that makes you jaw drop as soon as you step inside) and I know of a famous M.E who uses them.

After buying lots of headphones, these are the only headphones I would ever trust.

:lol:

For the record, I'm a big fan of the Beyer Dynamic DT100's, because my monitoring/acoustics situation doesn't really let me get a good mix on the subs either. And they're like half the price. And they've got that retro sex appeal that every producer craves ;)

are they all good then? I see the 750s mentioned the most and hardly hear about the others.

Yeah, those look nice. You can pretend to be a pilot. I used to use Sennheiser 414 s because they looked retro and all the BBC seemed to use them. :) I think a gnat farting has more bass.

Yeah, the 750s seem to be what people go for. I'd go over to gearslutz and do some searches. You might find other headphones mentioned, too.

I just bought a pair of 750s thanks to all the praise on here. Paid about £160 ish for them which seems OK. Also I spoke to the Ultrasone guy and he said price is going up £25 or so after 1st September.
